"Baby's in Black" is a song by The Beatles, co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and released in the United Kingdom on Beatles for Sale and in the United States on Beatles '65. Unusually for the Beatles, the song has a 6/8 time signature with a moderate tempo that makes it sound like 3/4 (waltz-time). The song's lyrics may be about Astrid Kirchherr, a friend and photographer the Beatles met during their first trip to Hamburg. She was Stuart Sutcliffe's fiancée, and was distraught over his death.
Recording
The Beatles recorded "Baby's in Black" on 11 August 1964, the first song recorded for Beatles for Sale.
Lennon and McCartney sang their vocal parts simultaneously through the same microphone. This was done at their own insistence in order to achieve a closer feel to the performance. McCartney was subsequently contacted by their music publisher in 1964 inquiring as to which melody line was the main tune (i.e. Paul's higher or John's lower melody). McCartney later said that he told the publisher they were both the main melody.[
The song was a lament to Astrid Kirchner, who favoured dressing in black. Astrid was the German female photographer who styled the Beatles famous moptop haircut during their time in Hamburg, and had a deeply romantic relationship with Stu Sutcliffe, The Beatles' first bassist, and a cohort of Lennon's from his art college days. Sutcliffe died from a brain hemorrhage in Germany. It's said that Astrid never got over this hence the inspiration for the lyrics of this song.
Although "Baby's in Black", which AMG described as "a love lament for a grieving girl that was perhaps more morose than any previous Beatles song," was, as described by some, as mostly Lennon's work, it was written in the same room with McCartney, who contributed a harmony to it. Other therefore dispute that the song was mostly Lennon's work and claim that Lennon and McCartney were equally responsible for the song's composition; a claim that might be supported by the fact that both Lennon and McCartney shared lead vocal duties.
Live performances
The Beatles performed "Baby's in Black" live during their appearances from late 1964 until their last tour in 1966, and usually as the third song in their set after "Rock and Roll Music" and "Long Tall Sally." McCartney said they introduced the song by saying, "'And now for something different.' ... We used to put that in there, and think, 'Well, they won't know quite what to make of this, but it's cool.'"
In 1996, a live version of "Baby's in Black" was released as a B-side to the second (and last but one) Beatles "reunion" single, "Real Love".
Baby's In Black was also performed at The Beatles 1965 concert at Shea Stadium.

Lyrics:
Oh dear, what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do
She thinks of him
and so she dressed in black
And though he'll never come back
she's dressed in black
Oh, dear, what can I do
baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me oh, what can I do?
I think of her
but she thinks only of him
And though it's only a whim,
she thinks of him
Oh, how long will it take
till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear, what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me oh, what can I do
She thinks of him
and so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back
she's dressed in black
Oh, dear what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me oh, what can I do?

The Fab Four may be in black (and white) but they're not feeling blue as they sing Baby's in Black on Ready, Steady, Go in the mid 1960s.
